Business Superstars
The story so far.....
Clive and Susan are typical of the able people we have worked with. Clive was a high-flying specialist who had built up an area of a business very well but was finding he had less time to do what he was best at because of all the other responsibilities he had acquired over time. His career and sense of job satisfaction were grinding to a halt. Susan had set up her own consultancy business. She was a great communicator with a dynamic attitude who had won herself some prestigious projects. However, like Clive, she seemed to be overloaded and grinding to a halt. Neither of them wanted to abandon what they were good at but they felt under pressure to take more of an executive role. They recognised the logic of moving on and up but their hearts weren't in it.
In a FBO (Flash of the Blindingly Obvious) we realised that the answer might lie in the working habits of top performers in the world of sport and entertainment. These "Superstars" get to the top by concentrating on what they do best - and having others do the rest. We started to investigate this approach in a small pilot research project and got some immediate and striking results. We also found that their habits applied to other, less public, top performers - like top rank professionals. By applying even the basic methods used by the Superstars to business situations we found we could get significant results. So, we carried on and developed a complete method able to take any performer up through the league table. It worked for Clive and Susan and it can work for you and the people who work with you, or for you.
